Modelling and gaming elements are future testing six major cities for everything from climate disasters to social media misinformation

Bangkok — Simulations of events ranging from climate disasters to misinformation campaigns on social media can help cities tackle problems that are both complex and hard to predict as they recover from the coronavirus pandemic, urban experts have said.

“Events of the past year have shown that while we can foresee a range of potential crises, it is impossible to predict their timing or scale with any certainty,” said Milica Begovic, an innovation specialist at UNDP in Istanbul. Simulations, such as those by the UNDP as part of its ongoing Istanbul innovation days programme, have previously been used to imagine a world without oil, and for companies to prepare for cyberattacks or reputational damage on social media.

Alternative reality simulations can include obtaining insights from a range of people — including those often excluded from the decision-making process, said Sha Xin Wei, who directs the synthesis centre for responsive environments at ASU.
